    okay so like I'm 19 and almost 100% independent so I'm planning on fully coming out on facebook so I have 2 subtle yet loud posts and wondering which one is cooler

    1- OKAY i Am WONDERINg IF I SHOULD MayBE JUST DO IT ... OOPS ALREADY DID

    2- maybe i should just COME OUT and say it ... oops i just did

    the second one is simple but if you're struggling with the first one here's a hint: ignore the capital letters.

    I kinda like the 1st one but I also want people to just get it immediately that's why the second one is also an option so which one do you guys think is cooler?

    I like the first one, and the second one seems simple enough, but unless you're a bit feminine/think people are suspecting, they might not even get the second one. I'd say go with the first one.

    lol, that's creative.


    But if you just change the "interested in" part of your profile, doesn't FB post that to your friend's wall? Like, "so and so updated their profile." Or is that too direct?

    I like the idea of the first one, but I think it might work better for you and the kind of casual way people read tons of stuff on Facebook if you made the I'M GAY the uppercase letters, and throw in some boldface if you can do that in Facebook, and say it like this:

    OKAY i'm WONDERINg IF I SHOULD MayBE JUST SAY IT ... OOPS ALREADY DID

    okay I'M wonderinG if i should just sAY it ... oops, already did

    I like the first one. Bolding it will make it easier to figure out, but I kinda like your approach. People will have to think, some will be clueless, but the comments will probably clue people in as well.

    Unfortunately, you can't bold on Facebook. However, i think if you switched which letters were capital and which were lowercase, it's be a lot clear.

    First one's definitely cooler.

    They are both creative. I think you should do the first one.

    The first one says I am gay with lowercase letters.

    Personally, I like the first one because not only are you coming out to the world, but you're adding some personality to it. :icon_bigg
